PostGame Thread Official Post Game Thread-Ravens beat the Pats

[slash83]

Lol. The secondary basically had the night off. There weren’t many passes to depend when they didn’t need to throw.

I saw a lot of completions to the tight ends getting beat by LBS.

Reminds me of the 31-0 loss to buffalo in 2003

Again, Baltimore is something stupid and 1 at home on SNF. Coincidence? Think not.

Bill had an angry face at the presser. It’s a long season let’s hope they learn from it. They clearly have to do a better job stopping the run.

If they don’t they can still win the SB.
Last year was the worst regular season of the BB era. And we put it together to win the SB. Losing a game or 2 isn’t a big picture impact.

We went 9-7 in 2002

Yeah the 4th and 4 conversion was effectively the play that won the Ravens the game, IMO.

And the Jules fumble that sucked the momentum out of us

Idk if it did. That was before and the pats came back and made it 24-20. Offense was moving the ball and this defense let the ravens march down like nothing. A 3rd and 5 at the 24 and it went for 18 to mark andrews.

a few key plays skew a game like this on the road...the tripping over an OLman's foot on the way to the EZ, settling for three...Edelman's uncharacteristic fumble, key penalties that sustained Raven drives...it's been a BB axiom for the past 20 years...keep it clean and you have a good chance of winning.

Had he not fumbled and we scored it would have been 20-17 and now the Ravens are playing from behind.

And a few questionable penalties on us helped them sustain drives

That was a killer. Maybe I’m in the minority but I’d rather have 6’3” Joejuan covering Andrews in that situation than 5’10” Brooks. Makes no sense to me at all.

Feckin gutless, weak-ass Frauds.

 

[captain stone]

Bill the GM is killing Bill the HC.

 

[captain stone]

And all that short-yardage play-calling was nothing short of un-masculine...Thanks a lot Skippy,
you feckin gweep.

 

[PatriotSpy]

I'm just tired of investing 1rst round picks on brokeback dudes.

 

[captain stone]

And another thing: Why exactly did Bill feel the need to draft a RB in the 3rd round...and Not use him? Because our 1st-rounder the previous year is kicking such ass?

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

Iggles and cowboys. Teams that rush the football. They better figure out a way to stop the run otherwise it will get difficult.

 

[Cohle]

This loss was a blessing in disguise. Team was too arrogant for my taste. Defense seemed to buy into the boogeymen, Gilmore calling himself best CB and Van Noy sounding sorta arrogant. We needed this loss. I'm fine with this.

That's an interesting outlook and I agree with it. The Patriots are usually quiet and stay off the media. I thought Van Noy enjoyed the ghost comment too much when in reality he should have realized it was just Sammy and the Jets

 

[luuked]

Did he complete a single pass more than 5 yards behind the los? I think I remember one.
We played a wild cat offense tonight.

I mean you can try to downplay their offense all you want by implying it was gimmicky but overall they answered most questions our defense asked of them on 3rd and 4th down with perfect calls, execution and precision.

And that was the most impressive aspect of Lamar yesterday. It wasn't his running ability and whatnot but that when it was down to him throwing accurate passes to his third and fourth options on big downs he absolutely delivered.

I don't get your point at all. It is weird to me that people have lamented for years "the lack of swag and confidence" on our D and then the year where they finally get what they want suddenly there is too much arrogance.

It has been really the fans and the media who keep coming up with those historical comparisons while the defense just kept balling the entire season so far. Even yesterday they put the game back on track but our offense was in no shape (yet) to do anything with those gifts.

I honestly would love to see a pointer to where KVN seemed arrogant because he seems like one of the most level headed players on the defensive unit. This sounds more like Felger talking point to me than anything.
